Monday: Every other Monday is museum and music lesson Monday. This week was one of those weeks. My husband Joey had such an enjoyable time 2 weeks ago with the kids that he decided to take another day off and spend it with us at the Strong National Museum of Play again! He was not […]
When preparing to start these posts, my dear friend Shana was concerned about doing them “right”. I told her there was no “right” way to do this and that “you could be thankful for paperclips for all I care!”. This has led to a myriad of other things for us. Now I will never look […]
Unfortunately, today I don’t have a picture to share. As I am sitting here preparing this post, chatting with a friend on Google Talk and waiting for my blog to be loaded into Blog2Print, I am thinking of all the things I have to do today. For starters, I have to be out of here […]
Yesterday I received a phone call from a parent of one of Chloe’s friends. Of course, my first reaction is panic, “What has my child done?”. It turns out this parent was calling to tell me how much they appreciate Chloe and the good friend she has been to their child. 🙂 This parent went […]
Every morning as I lie awake in bed, I hear the drawers slamming in Jayden’s room as he gets dressed. I hear the clunk of Chloe’s door popping open as she heads to the bathroom. Then I hear the rhythm of little feet on the floor, the pause, the slight whimper at the sight […]
Every Fall I stop and enjoy the changing colors. The warm feeling of the bright yellows, deep reds, and vibrant oranges fills me with joy. Many people say that this is one of the perks of living in NY. Not everywhere do you get the to enjoy each of the 4 seasons. In this spirit […]
Today I am thankful for the fall colors. Not everywhere do you get to enjoy the beautiful process of the leaves changing colors, falling, and growing again. These deep rich colors are some of my favorites. The kids enjoyed scouring around Braddock’s Bay park recently looking for leaves, berries, pine cones, and such.
I took this photo on a day trip to Braddock’s Bay park last week. We had an unusual 70 degree day here in NY and I wanted to take advantage of it. The kids finished up their work by lunchtime so we could head out and enjoy the weather. Much to our surprise Daddy rolled […]
Last year at this time I started a daily status on Facebook for something that I was thankful for. The challenge was to post a new/different “Thankful” each day of the month in honor of Thanksgiving. I had not given it too much thought this year until one of my Facebook Friends sent me […]
In stark contrast to last week, this week we were free to stay home, instead of running everyday. Then we were surprised with a beautiful late fall heat wave and sun fest! As we were riding our bikes through our neighborhood at 1 o’clock on Tuesday, soaking in the sun, I was thinking to myself, […]
LIVE LIKE THE CHILD Live like the child in the present. Cherish each moment somehow! Glory in life as it passes, … Hold and delight in the now. Walk in the light of the present. Live every moment as last, Dimmed not by the rays of the future, Nor clouded by shades of the past. […]
